First UK edition, first printing. 184pp. Red cloth boards with gilt titles on spine (v slightly rounded at spine ends). Internally neat, clean, tight and bright barring a little foxing on text block edge. In its original, classic Gollancz Thriller yellow jacket, unclipped, very slightly bumped at edges. Hanbury, the outrageous villain of Taylor's earlier novels, is now a reformed character...or he would like to be.
